Santa, state troopers deliver gifts to children at Saint Peter’s hospital

Santa, assisted by a dozen New Jersey State Police troopers, delivered presents Friday to children in the pediatric sections of Saint Peter’s University Hospital, bringing joy to the ward.

Before the troopers rolled up, Officer Alex Dinicola and Cpl. Mike MacInnes of the Police Benevolent Association Local 166 of the Englishtown Police Department delivered a separate truck filed with toys to the hospital.

Their toys had been donated, and they said one 9-year-old boy was responsible for about 100 of the toys after he had distributed leaflets through some neighborhoods. The officers did not reveal his name, saying he was a minor and they lacked permission from the family.
